If you think that pathetic fence

will keep me in here you must be mad...Harry hopefully contained away from the builders..

It can take ages

to find all the horses, this one was hiding down a disused track below the fields.

Total puzzlement from Rene

because I was trying to make him stay away to take a decent pic, and he wanted to nuzzle the top of my head which he always does as a greeting!

Harmony

not in foal this year, and just coming over to say hello.

Judy and Jenny

Full sisters and both brood mares. Jenny has blocked tear ducts and comes to me to be cleaned up.

Mixed bunch

From the left. Selwyn, one of our own retired horses.
I think the next one may be Charlie another retired one, then jazztime, a yearling from last year and now sold, and lastly Lucia, who has a scar from an injury last year so will be sold cheaply .

Robin..

Who yesterday escaped into the bluebell wood and made me search for him for half an hour..Grrrr!

Saffron

lady in waiting, she's due next month.

William

out with the big boys now and bum high!

One of my garden ponds,

I think I'll pain this bridge a deep dark red , as it is looking decidedly scruffy.

There is 36 years between this pair

William isn't one yet and Charlie's 37 at least...

Starting to play

C'mon Charlie, don't be such a miserable git.

Starting to play

I'll catch Charlie for you....

Yee-haaa!

No wonder Charlie is a sod to catch!

William and Charlie

This action is the reason we fought so hard for him

I'm fed up, I'm going for a snooze.

William and Charlie

My garden pond

It just gets better and better for a few weeks after this stage, lots more colour arrives in the shrubs and there is still plenty of water flowing down the waterfall which keeps the water crystal clear.
